Mine has gotten better with age so to speak. I have a little under 30k miles and the mileage has gotten better since 20k. I have to say that I'm not trying as hard now as I did the 1st 20k and it comes easier. I keep my foot out if it. when I was 1st really trying, I'd more or less pretend I had an egg under my foot. And I would get 37 to39 mpg. Maybe because now its second nature for me, But I find myself too often at 75mph on the way to work, and that makes a big difference. keeping at 70 or below is where its at! If I would just leave 5-7 minutes earlier I wouldnt need to rush at all and set the cruise at 65 I could do even better. I keep my tires at 40 psi. Rides better at 32-35 for sure! but mileage at 40 is noticeably better.
